The School Board had the opportunity to participate in a virtual field trip at last night’s Technology Committee meeting using the district’s new VR equipment. They visited a Chinese temple and the Sistine Chapel. They also partook in a virtual simulation of a border checkpoint at the Berlin Wall during the Cold War and Jay Gatsby’s mansion from the book ‘The Great Gatsby.’ This equipment was funded by the ‘Teach with Tech’ grant from the Maine DOE.

We know many homes are still without power and the flooding has caused major damage across the city. You are in our thoughts, and additionally we thank maintenance and custodian crews who have been working endlessly to care for our schools. Most Augusta schools have had power restored and are ready to welcome students back. There will be school on Thursday, 12/21/2023, for all schools except Farrington Elementary (which is still without power).
